Hi Saucy

Welcome to the forum  

Have you tried PUVA or UVB at all? I have had PUVA and it worked well for me...

Are you seeing a dermatologist? I'm sure if you have suffered for so long then you would have.

Tell us a bit more about what you have tried..hopefully someone can help...

Thanks
Michael

HI MICHEAL,
YES I HAVE TRIED LIGHT TREATMENT, MANY CREAMS!! THE LASTEST BEING DOVEBET,WHICH I HAVE BEEN USING 4 12WEEKS NOW, I AV ALSO TRIED HOMOPATH,CHINESE MEDICENT,AND VARIOUS  DIETS.
I'VE NOT SEEN DERMO 4 ABOUT 5 YRS NOW AS THE LAST TIME I SAW HIM AFTER A SPELL IN HOSPITAL HE OFFERD ME A TABLET THAT HAD MANY SIDE EFFECTS, 1 OF THEM ,COULD CAUSE INFERTILITY WHICH I REFUSED.
I'V TRIED DEAD SEA PRODUCTS,ALOE  VERA JUICE.
I DID FIND A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT WHILE USING EXOREX LOTION 4 A WHILE  BUT NOW HAS NO EFFECT.
NOW LOOKIN IN2 A DEAD SEA WRAP AT BEAUTY SALON, BUT THE COSTS AND THE STATE OF MY SKIN IS HOLDING ME BACK AT THE MOMENT. I USED 2 SEE IMPROVEMENT  AFTER A SPELL INTHE SUN, ENOUGH 2 FEEL COMFORTABLE ABOUT WEARING A T SHIRT ND SHORTS OUTSIDE OF MY OWN GARDEN, BUT 4 THE LAST 3 YRS THE SUN HAS NOT HELPED EITHER

hi saucy,
 its been awile since you last saw a derm , why not go see your gp and get him to refer you  .some docs do have the best intentions but not the best of knowledge when it comes to the p. :-/
 good luck

I agree with Alison - another derm visit might be a good idea.

Sometimes I also find that when I  have been particularly stressed over the p I use loads and loads of everything and I think I overload my skin with potins and lotions - what has helped a bit is to give up all treatments and stick to moisturising loads - it gives the skin a break and hopefully then one of the old creams will work.
I do hope things improve for you.
Lots of good vibes to you....
